CHARGING

Plug the charger into a USB port or AC adapter (not included) as shown and connect

the battery. The charger LED is steady on when charging. The LED flashes when

charge is complete.

NEVER leave the battery unattended while charging.

● DO NOT allow the USB port to power down while the charger is connected

to the battery.

● ALWAYS unplug the charger from the USB port and the battery when

charging is complete.

● NEVER charge a puffed or damaged battery.

INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE CONTROLLER

Remove the screw and slide the cover

down to insert the included 4 AAA

batteries.

INSTALL THE CAMERA

1. Carefully slide the camera onto the camera mount until you feel it click into

place.

2. Connect the included camera wire to the camera and to the quadcopter. The

plugs can only be connected one way. Look closely at the photos to see the

orientation of wire colors.

LINKING 1. Turn on the controller with the throttle at its

lowest position.

2. Connect the battery to the Vista and place it on a level surface. The LED on the quad will flash rapidly when the quad is linked to the controller and ready to fly.

QUADCOPTER SENSOR CALIBRATIONIf the quadcopter is constantly drifting in the same direction or any time a new fl ight

control board has been installed, the sensors on the Vista should be calibrated.

1. Calibrate the sensors before the fi rst fl ight. Center all the trim adjustments.

To center the trim settings, hold down one side of the trim button until you

hear a long beep. If the controller stops beeping, release the trim button

and hold down the other side.

2. Place your Vista on a level surface and link the quadcopter with the

controller.

3. Move and hold the right stick in its lower right corner.

4. Move the left stick down and to the right. When the arm LEDs start to fl ash,

release both sticks. The LEDs will stop fl ashing when the calibration is

complete.

2

ALWAYS unplug the

battery after flying!

Damage to the

battery may result if

left connected.

Page 3: Quadcopter - Horizon Hobby · QUADCOPTER SENSOR CALIBRATION If the quadcopter is constantly drifting in the same direction or any time a new fl ight control board has been installed,

FLYING

FLYING BASICS 1. Take off by “slowly” advancing the left stick until the quad takes off.

2. Control altitude using the left stick.

3. Use the right stick to move left, right, forward, or backward.

4. Use the left stick (left/right) to rotate or spin left or right.

5. Always use small movements until you learn how the model behaves.

TO PREVENT MOTOR DAMAGE ALWAYS BE SURE THE

THROTTLE IS OFF WHEN THE BLADES ARE OBSTRUCTED

OR CONTROL IS LOST.

DUAL RATESControl sensitivity can be changed by pushing in

on the right stick on the controller. The default

is low rate when the flight mode LED is blue.

The controller will make a double beep and the

flight mode LED will change to orange indicating

high rate. This mode should be used when flying

outdoors or when more agility is desired. Pushing

in on the right stick again will return the controller to low rate indicated by a single

beep and the flight mode LED changing back to blue. This mode should be used

when flying indoors, learning to fly, or smoother video is desired.

The low rate sensitivity will always be 25% less than the high rate. The overall

controls can be adjusted by:

1. Pushing in the right stick until the controller beeps once.

2. Continuing to push the right stick in and advancing the throttle to the

desired setting.

3. Releasing the right stick and returning the throttle to 0%.

The default setting is when the throttle stick is at 50% (midstick).

FLIGHT MODESThe Vista has advanced stabilization

which automatically levels the quad

when the right stick is centered and

limits how far the Vista can tilt.

Press the Flight Mode button to toggle

this off or on.

Easy Mode – Control rates are at a low setting. This is the default mode for the

controller and should be used when indoors or if the pilot is just learning to fl y.

Normal Mode – The control

rates are high. This mode

should be selected when fl ying

outdoors or when more agility

is desired.

Advanced Mode – Advanced stabilization is off and the control rates are low.

Your Vista will be more agile because there are no limits on how far it can turn

in any direction.

Expert Mode – Advanced stabilization is off and the control rates are high.

FLIPSYour Vista can perform a

fl ip when the fl ip button

is pressed followed by

moving the right stick in

the desired fl ip direction.

This stunt needs lots

of room and should

be done outside with

relatively calm winds.

NOTE: When the battery voltage is low (fl ashing LEDs) the fl ip function is disabled.

LOW BATTERY INDICATORThe LEDs on the Vista will fl ash slowly when the LiPo battery voltage is low. The

Vista FPV should be landed as soon as possible to avoid damaging the battery.

Always unplug the battery after fl ight. The battery needs to be charged

before the quadcopter is stored.

The controller will make five quick beeps when the AAA batteries need to

be charged.

MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTIONThe Vista is equipped with motor overload protection circuitry

that shuts down the motors in the event the propellers become

blocked by an obstruction and throttle is applied. In order to reset

the overload protection you will need to free the Vista from the

obstruction and lower the throttle to zero. If the overload protection

is triggered repeatedly or late into a fl ight then it may prematurely cause the

low battery indicator to fl ash the LEDs. Disconnect the battery and wait several

seconds before reconnecting it. If the LEDs continue to fl ash then you should

stop fl ying and recharge the battery.

RECORDING VIDEO & PICTURES WITHOUT THE APP

1. Insert the memory card into the camera. If you remove or need to replace,

insert as shown with the gold contact points facing up toward the Vista. Push

the card in until it clicks into place. To release the card, push in until it clicks

and the card will spring out of position to be removed. The memory card

should never be inserted or removed from the camera when the battery

is plugged in. When inserting the card, be sure to align the card correctly

into the card slot.

2. Turn on the controller and connect the battery to the Vista. Before taking pictures

or video you must allow the camera 30 seconds to initialize. Pictures or video

taken before the camera has initialized may not be saved to the card or the

file(s) will be corrupted.

3. Use the PICTURE and VIDEO buttons on the controller to take still images and

video recordings. Pressing and releasing the VIDEO button will start video

recording indicated by a long ‘beeeep’ from the controller. Pressing and

releasing the button again will stop recording indicated by a short ‘beep’ from

the controller and the LEDs on the Vista will flash. Pressing and releasing the

PICTURE button on the controller will take a photo indicated by a short ‘beep’

from the controller. Photos can be taken using the PICTURE button on the

controller even if the DroneView camera is recording video. Allow at least 2

seconds after taking a picture before taking another picture.

NOTE: Avoid pressing and holding the video and picture buttons. A quick ‘press

and release’ is sufficient to activate the camera.

BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY FROM THE VISTA

AND REMOVING THE MEMORY CARD, YOU MUST ALLOW

AT LEAST 30 SECONDS FOR THE DRONEVIEW CAMERA

TO CLOSE THE FILES. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT

IN MISSING OR UNREADABLE FILES.

4. Wait at least 30 seconds following the end of the last video recorded. Disconnect

the battery from the Vista, THEN remove the memory card from the camera.

5. Insert the card into a memory card reader (not included) for use with a PC

or tablet. Pictures are saved as .JPG files and videos are saved as .AVI files.

Pictures and videos can be viewed or edited using software that was bundled

with your PC or tablet, or there is a wide variety of software available from

third parties both free and for purchase.

NOTE: The DroneView camera’s maximum video length is 5 minutes. If video

is recorded for longer than 5 minutes the DroneView camera will automatically

close the video file and start a new file. There may be a short loss of video footage

during this switch to a new file. The DroneView will continue to create new video

files every 5 minutes of continuous recording until the memory card becomes

full or the battery is disconnected or the battery voltage drops below the abilty

for the camera to operate. Corrupt or missing files may result in video recording

being stopped in this way. When the battery voltage is low indicated by flashing

LEDs the camera will stop recording and save the video file. Videos and pictures

cannot be taken until the battery is recharged.

6. After you have retrieved your files from the memory card (copy the files you

wish to keep to a safe location) you can delete the files on the memory card.

The DroneView camera will create the sub folders it needs if they are deleted

from the card.

USING THE DRONEVIEW APPThe DroneView app is software for your WiFi-capable Apple or Android device

that allows you to connect to the DroneView camera to use the FPV (First Person

View) function as well as to take videos and pictures and upload and view them

directly to your device.

1. Install the “DroneView” app from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (Apple).

2. Insert the memory card into the camera and connect a charged LiPo battery

to the Vista.

3. iOS Only - Go to the WiFi setting

options in your device and select

the DroneView network. The actual

name of the DroneView network will

vary from the picture shown here. It

may take several seconds for the

DroneView network to appear in the

available network list in proximity

to your device. No password is

needed to connect to the DroneView

network. NOTE: Android devices

will automatically connect to the

DroneView WiFi network when the

DroneView app is opened.

NOTE: The FPV feed is for the purposes of displaying what the camera is

recording to improve the quality and accuracy of videos and pictures with respect

to the pilot’s intended field of view. We do not recommend attempting to fly the

Vista relying solely on the FPV feed. Delays in the FPV feed can cause the image

shown in the app to not represent the exact current position of the Vista. Any

interruption of the FPV feed will not be present in the recorded video files. Flying

without maintaining line of sight of the quad is unsafe.

FILE GALLERYOpening the file

gallery displays the

contents of the

memory card in the
